From the problem below, I need to figure out how you get $10,000 for FA old van in year six. Project Cash Flows Your company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicls with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $3,000 apiece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $29,850 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to about $3,700 each. If your cost of capital is 8 percent and your firm faces a 34 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be?
